Christopher James Griffin, 19, of Mineola, Texas, was shot and killed behind a gas station on North Pacific Street on June 15, 2014. Born March 9, 1995, in Riverside, California, he had recently graduated from Mineola High School and was a member of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church in Mineola.

The shooting followed an argument inside the EZ Mart on that property which escalated into a confrontation in the alley behind the store. Christopher was fatally shot during that altercation. Jason Walters was later indicted for the killing, claimed he acted in self-defense, and was arrested and released on bond.

The case proceeded through extensive pretrial motions and hearings; Walters’ trial began July 8, 2019, and the jury returned a not guilty verdict on July 17, 2019. Does anyone have information about Christopher’s final hours or witnessed the confrontation outside the EZ Mart?
